Tulips in the City

The beginning of Summer in Ottawa is always marked my the Tulip Festival. Every year the city springs to life as the colourfull blooms wake up the landscape with their vibrancy. This year the tulips were spectacular, ranging in all shapes and colours, some even resembled roses with their multitude of petals.

My hubby and I took an afternoon stroll and checked out the rows upon rows of the beautiful tulips this Friday. The skies were a bit overcast which made for perfect picture taking conditions, and I took full advantage of that! Spending hours crouched down snapping at the blooms as my extremely patient and wonderful hubby held an umbrella over my head whenever it drizzled.

It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and got me all geared up to all the great things that our beautiful city has to offer during the summer season!
